Three petaled maroon flowers resting on wide leaves blotched silver light green and dark purple. Not fussy about soil, loves dappled shade. Often found growing on the edge of redwood into oak meadows. This seed strain for particularly dark flowers and leaves varying from blotched green and silver to almost completely dark purple. Seedlings from these plants will produce a variety of beautiful leaf forms. Leaf coloration is most pronounced when plants first emerge, developing more green as the season progresses.
